Waiting for someone to call the social workers on me after seeing that foto. He was safe the whole time!!

Merhaba Türkiye'deki tüm blog okuyucularına !!

Ayer, we had 89 page views from Turkey, so hola hola to a greeting in Turkish!!

Buenos tardes and welcome to an overcast día. It even looks like we might be getting some lluvia this afternoon!! Not a hot one, only 37,0 grados, but due to the 74% humido, you sweat standing still. Nice.


Lil'man is asleep next to me...and Poppa is the last member of the Van-Arnolds to catch the cold...doph. No coughing or sneezing yet, just a sore throat and I am hoping to overwhelm the cold with vitaminas!! Stay tuned.

Hey...welcome back. Max stirred waaaaay too early and I plopped him into my arms and we caught another 25 minutos each!!

Currently 215pm and with Max watching some Bernstein Bears on the iPad, Poppa is busy typing away. We are both in the baño...Max on the throne and Poppa on the foot banco!! Lil'man wanted a little company while he awaits to see if any business is coming.

This baño training is wacky!! We have had great success with getting the liquido into the baño, but Max does not say he needs to go...he flaps his arms like a bird and I often hear him say "Poooooppppaaaa".

But the other business...he does not want to let us know and he does not want to be plopped on the baño. And more wacko? He has a very sensitive gag reflex and he cannot handle being in the baño after biz. They don't write about this stuff in the new padre libros!!

Ok...the día...I am taking another afternoon off and will use the tranquilo time to try and beat this sore throat.

We had a better bed time, once we had the honey into his boca, more on that later. One wake up at 9pm and after some jarabe, I think he slept all the way through until 645am. Score!!

Another morning with no many boogers, but he still has the hack and that part sucks for all of us!! Bex seems to have the same issue, but was is well enough to go for her solo bici ride while the boys have their siesta.

Max watched some videos and then we skipped tranquilo time and went straight into desayunos. It was granola viernes and Max enjoyed his bowl con canela...hola hola to canela leche once all the cereal is gone!!

Soriana viernes but we had time for a short prowl and then into the camioneta verde we went. Dropped off the recycling and then off to Soriana where we managed to grab everything on our list.

Home for leche, libros and some more honey...and then off to the siesta.

Post siesta...lunch for all and due to the fact that I am not going to el gimnasio as well as that it has been a month...time to shave!!

Ok...you are all caught up and nothing new to report from the baño...so onto the fotos!!

Pre-prowl perch...just saying hola hola and checking out the situation.






What's that you say Poppa? Sexy Belly?





Sexy belly has turned into an opportunity to play with his ombligo, belly button. He has recently become quite fascinated with it.



Checking out a camioneta that was parking on calle Carrizal.





Want to see some genuine happiness?




Max at Soriana and in the shopping cart, as he is about to roll down the parking lot by himself, as his Poppa pretends to not know it is happening.





And after asking how many times we did this, Max starts counting them off en español.


The miel, honey, story? Niño has a sore garganta? The Mexicanos swear by miel, and it worked last night and today right before siesta. Score!!

Ok...all caught up...tranquilo afternoon. See you all after tina time.

Hasta pronto!!

Buenos tardes again. Due to some ginchie issues, we had a short post cena bici tour and we were back in the casa by 645pm. Some pre-tina clean up...doph...and then onto tina time and at 725pm, leche y libros are in the works. Another 5 or 10 minutos and the musica will be fired up. Buen suerte!!

The good news is that Max's cough was waaaaay less pre-cena and we did not need to give him any jarabe. We gave him some now and with a little miel, he should have no problems sleeping tonight...knock on wood.

As for the afternoon...lazy bones Bubba lay on the couch conserving energy and before madre y Max returned from their time at playa Chahue, I managed to get a vacuum and mop completed.

The time at playa Chahue? A little stressful for Bex as it was more about bum clean up vs fun time. Lil'man does NOT want to tell us when he has to go...it might have been a full 6 pack of ginchies today. Doph.

We cannot turn back now...but I think we will stay a little closer to a baño and continue to try and figure out why Max will not tell us it is baño time. Any suggestions my Turkish amigos?

But, they came home for leche and clean up, oh the clean up, and then Max dragged his banco into the cocina thinking he was going to help me cook. He loves to help cook!!

It was a fries in the oven and steaks on the fry pan kinda dinner, so not much to do, but he enjoyed his time anyway.

Good meat...hola hola Soriana, and then we squeezed in some videos, a FT con Oma y Opa, another video and then onto the short tour. The best part of the tour was coming upon 3 niños at the parque en frente de escuela.

Max was on his bici, wheeled up to the 3 of them and then shook each of their hands. They must have been 6, 4 and 3 years old and to see them shake hands was hilarious. Max also said something to them, I could not hear what, and it left the niños looking confused.

I told them how old Max was as well as that he understood español, but did not speak it very often.

And that was the day. Fin de semana already? Our plans are to get the familia healthy before Nascar domingo!!

Have a great weekend y hasta mañana.

Marco, Bexico y Max
